Lu bees? Does anyone know of a book written by a black author about how we freed ourselves from chattel enslavement in the U.S.?

I checked some of his stuff out. The closest I could find discussing freeing ourselves was the American Revolution being a counter revolution. The only book I’ve found that specifically details us freeing ourselves is “I Freed Myself” but its written by a wazugu.

There’s this, but the author is an mzungu: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/7930304-slaves-who-abolished-slavery

Jerejef lool, I will be reading “I Freed Myself” by the mzungu (corection) David Williams. I’m trying to design a ritual centered on a few women worshiping masculine energy centered around a great elder and the warrior ancestors who fought and won our freedom from chattel enslavement in the U.S. Does anyone have any ideas for what the ritual could entail?

Nu ko bokk. I don’t have any ideas on what such a ritual could entail.

I assure you that misogyny is the furthest thing from my mind. By worship I stress the meaning “work-ship”, the vehicle by which we communicate to the unseen, as an elder who spent his whole life directly studying indigenous culture would tell me. The Karamojong people of Ughanda can trace the etymology of there name meaning “the spirit of the ram”, and can directly trace there cultural symbols to Amon-ra whom is represented by a Ram. They have masculine worship rituals. I would argue it is indeed western feminism and female lesbianism that would be repulsed by the ideas posted above….did the Kemetyu not have tekkens, and masculine diesties that they work-shipped?

Brother I agree that opposites are complementary that goes without saying. I’ve studied the ennead, now I’m trying to LIVE the ennead. Ra is an energy that powers life not just the sun, Ra is the fire elemental within you. I challenge you to move beyond intellectualizing our past and live our past. That’s all I’m saying when it comes to the ceremony I’m trying to design. Pouring libation is one step but crakas do that too..why don’t we start possessing and channeling our ancestors directly …is that not more Afrikan?
